The basic difference is that Democrats believe more Government is the solution and the Government works better when centralized, whereas Republicans believe less Government is the solution and the Government works better when localized. Republicans believe the Government's only real job is to protect us, whereas Democrats believe the government has a moral responsibility to promote social justice.

Then don't pick a party. The two major parties are mostly d-bags these days, anyway (though I would argue that the Republicans generally have cornered the market on casual bigotry and stupid evil in their politicians).

There are other parties, though, don't forget: The Green Party, the Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, the Independent American Party (socialists, since it's not obvious from their name), the Communist Party, and dozens of other smaller ones. While voting for them is often a less-than-effective choice, at least in the short term, it's still a way to identify yourself if you want.

I hate being associated with any political party. Maybe it's just that I have a really strong sense of individualism, but I feel that when joining a group, I support their actions, without having complete control. Oh wait, maybe I'm just a control freak. Whatever. Independents FTW
